The corn Crop.

The. Farmers ReUiea0, of Chicago,
publishes in this week. issue its esti-
mate of the corn crop of 1887, placing
it at about 300. 900. 900 bushels. This
estimate is based on the following
data: The seven corn surplus States
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri.
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska have
during the last seven years produced
an average within small fraction of
1000, 100000 bushels annually. This
year all these States have suffered
severely from drought. The De-
partment of Agriculture estimated
the condition of the crop in these
States on September /, based on re-
ports of its correspondents prior to
that date, at Ga per cent. The Farm
eTs' Review estimates the condition
based on reports of Its correspondents
up to September II at only rs per
cent of an average crop.
This 81 per cent would give for
these States only 570,0O0,000 bushels
in this years crop. The rest of the
country has in these seven years pro-
duced an average of about 640.0O0,O0O
bushels. But the crop this year is
above the average in the Atlantic
and cotton States, and it is estimated
that the yield be 100, 900, 900 in excess
of the average for past years. This
will give to the country outside of
the seven corn States above named a
crop of 74O.OOO,00O bushels. which.
added to the 57O,OOO.OOO from the
seven corn States, makes total crop
for the whole country of 1900, 900
bushels.

A Great Mans Greatest Thought.

At dinner at the Astor House
when Daniel Webster was Secretary
of State under President Fillmore
after period of silence which fell
upon the company of some twenty
gentlemen.who were present, one Of
the guests said:
"Mr. Webster, will you tell me
what was the most important
thought that ever occupied your
mind ?"
Mr.. Webster slowly passed his
hand over his forehead, and in a low
tone inquired of one.near him.
sis there anyone here who does
not know me?"
"No: all are your friends"
"The most important thought that
ever occupied my mind" said Mr..
Webster, twas of my i,adiUidIdL re-

speaking on this subject In the most

This. however, the car of Russia
is; a hopeless and oftimes helpless
sot. Among those nearest to him 1t
is we'll known, but never mentioned
except in whispers, that he has sev-

frightful of all species of insanity,

alleges, his cruelty to those who were

which two liquors are most delight
full to the imperial paate, not even

wife and children, can restrain his
tendency to imperil his personal
safety by exposing himself to the
attacks of secret foes in his ungov-
ernable recklessness. 1t is told of
this imperial maniac that. on one
occasion, M. de Gies was driven
from the czar's presence with lam
guage unfit to be heard in the lowest
haunts of infamy after having been
summoned by his sovereign to report
upon some matter affecting Russia's

Washington's W onderful Monument.

/ have been living now for some
months at distance of mile away,
ia full view of the Washington mon
umsnt, looking directly upon its
eastern face, says a correspondent of
the Kansas City Journal. 1t never
seemed twice alike, 1t has its moods
and changes of colors, like the tops
of the Swiss Alps. This morning
the base of the 600-foot structure was
lost in deep blue mist, which filled
the valley for depth of couple
hundred feet. Then came a section
of, perhaps, 100 feet more in which
the shaft was purple and pink, the
whole crowned with a white blazing
column, hundreds of feet high, fash
ing back the sunlight, set against
deep blue western sky! At another
time you will see the cold, gray base
of the monument rising above the
deep green foliage which surrounds
it, with the dark blue highlands of
Arlington beyond, and overlapping
all these the graceful shaft pierces the
heavens, towering far above the hori-
zon line, until its top is lost in sea
of fieecY clouds. 1t is realized vision
of Jacobs ladder, a real visible stone
causeway leading from heaven to
earth. Do you know of any other
monument like this? A few even
ings ago there was a grand thunder
shower in the east. The west was
black with darkness, and even the
white monument was blotted out of
sight. But at every fash of the
lightning the whole eastern face of
the monument cleaned and flashed
like polished sword. coming out of
the darkness with a suddenness and
YiYidness that was startling. 1t
seemed to be CHASTITY monument, a
column of electricity, which leaped
from the earth to. the sky. lam sure
no other monument in this world can
exhibit such phase as that.

Of the bills passed TAT were in the
first session of that Congress and POP
in the second session.
Of the bills vetoed, 101 were in the
first session and % in the second.
The truth, therefore, is that Pres
ident Cleveland approved about
two-thirds of the bills passed." I've
toed" over one-eighth, and "dodged"
as to the remainder.
Second. AS to the suggestions of
the statement. Its purpose is to con-
trast the Grant, Hayes and Arthur
pension records with Cleveland's, to
the advantage of the latter. Now
what are the facts about those Ad-
ministrations
Of the 493 pension bills passed un-
der the Grant Administration Grant
vetoed eight. Two because the claim.
ants names were then on the pension
roll. Another, because the clause in
the act about the minor children of
the soldiers had no meaning. Three
were vetoed because the names of the
claimants were borne on the army
rolls as deserters. Another, because
the name of the pensioner was not
correctly given. And the last. be-
cause the soldiers company was not
correctly stated. He signed 1856. This
is Grants record on pension yetoes.
What is Hayes and Arthur's rec
ord? Under Hayes, 300 private pen.
sion bills were passed. He approved
them all.
Under Arthur, 1856 private pension
bills were passed by Congress. He
approved them all.
Cleyeland's approvaIs were but 666
out of 949 passed, and are thus 126
less than Grants and Hayes COM
bined, and 68 less than Arthur's, out
of total of 453 greater than the for.
mer, and 213 greater than the latter.
The contrast is what might have
been expected in advance of investi.
CATION. Grant. Hayes and Arthur
were all actually engaged in the sup
preston of the Rebellion, and were
in full personal sympathy with the
armies of the Union. Cleveland's
record as President is not out of har.
mony with his passiyeness as citi-
zen during the struggle.
1t is true, as claimed, that Cleve-
land signed the Widows Increase
bill. and Crippled Soldiers Increase
bill. 1t is also true that he signed
the Mexican War Pension bill, which
awards service pension to the SOL
diers of that war. But it IS also true
that within ten days thereafter he
vetoed the bill which proposed appli-
cation of substantially the same prin-
ciple to the soldiers of the army of
the Union. His friends have the floor
to align that extraordinary discrimi-
nation against the Union soIdiery
with this extraordinary pretension of
friendship for them.

CleYeIand's Pension Record.

The Hon. Edward Mcpherson has
written the following letter in reply
to inquiries from Senator Allison, of
Iowa:
The statement" to which you ask
my attention. respecting president
Cleveland's official record on Union
soldiers" copied from The National
Vieao, a Washington ID. G.. weekly
paper, bears the marks of preparation
for a purpose. That purpose is to
show that the Cleveland Administra-
ton is more entitled to the respect
and confidence of the Union soldiers
of the country than the Administra-
ton of either Grant or Hayes, or
Arthur. 1t seeks to make the i'm
preston that Cleveland has been
moro liberal and more just to the SOL
diery than either of his predecessors.
And it claims, in terms, that Cleve-
land has approved II more private
pension bills than Grant and Hayes
combined, and l27 more than Arthur.
The statement" is false both in its
assertions and its suggestions.

EARLY IN April the Chicago Inter
OCEAN addressed letters to responsible
persons in Kansas aud Nebraska con-
corning tn. business of 134 companies
organized for the purpose of loaning
money on real estate in those two
States. One question was: What, in
your opinion, is the largest per cent.
of the present selling value which any
of the said companies loan on farms ?"
There were thirty-two answers to this,
and the percentages stated range from
1915 to more than 100. the average be-
lag somewhere between 60 and IS per
cent. Another question was: what
proportion of the improved farms is in
your county mortgaged in any man
ner?" The replies to this numbered
forty-seven, and they ranged from so
per cent. to nearly 100, the, average
being fully rs per cent. There
are blooms" in Kansas and
Nebraska. and it would seem from the
above facts that one Of those days there
will be crashes in these States, when
the poor farmers will not have enough
left to bring them west. There cannot
long be prosperity in a country where
rs per cent. of the farms are mortgaged
for IS per cent. of the boom" value.

to try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen bottles
were sold last year. and no one case
